Self Described Drifters

“We were like on our backs and we’d keep on sliding,” said Ketcher. “It was just like, ‘we’re going to die.”

The two victims – 32-year-old Kristin Roach of Oregon and 27-year-old Harold Ketcher of Oklahoma – told CBS 5 they had parked their bicycles just off state Highway 1 and planned on walking down the cliff to the beach so they could light a campfire.

The cliff proved too steep and slippery, giving way under their feet, causing them to slide down and nearly over a cliff around 3 p.m.

These “self described drifters” closed down Devil Slide on both sides while they had to be helicopter lifted off the side of the cliff, leaving motorist stranded on thePacifica/Linda Mar side until around 7 p.m.
